It's Adam.

"Hi Adam, what brings you here?" you casually say as you open the door.

"Hi Heather, can I speak to your mom?" he asks.

"Sorry, she said she was going to out the whole day," you reply.

"Oh, really?" he asks, looking disappointed.

Out of sheer curiousity, you give a compassionate gesture, and ask, "You wanna come in?"

"Inside? Well, I don't really have anything better to do."

You smile a little as you open the door wider just enough to let him slip past inches away from your exposed forearm. When he is in the center of the main foyer you turn to close the door and lock it shut.

"So what have you been doing this past week, Heather, if you don't mind me asking?"

"I've been in the house the whole time, just cleaning and learning to cook, and basically just learning how to take care of myself. It's the best I can do for the time being."

"You said you can cook, like what have you been making?"

"Well, let's see. How about I show you then?"

"Alright, lead the way."

You lead Adam north past the roomy living room and into a threshold leading into the kitchen. Plainly seen on the island are a casserole dish of lasagna and a platter of cut French bread.

"Going Italiano, I see," he says and you respond with a giggle. "May I?"

"Go right ahead, be my guest," you say and he immediate takes a stool and a plate and starts taking pieces out of the casserole dish and digging into the bread.

This gave you the signal to continue what you were doing if he didn't ring the doorbell. You were cleaning up in the kitchen before any doorbell was heard. You take a hairtie and tie up your hair into a ponytail. You immediate go to the sink and wash unused and dirty dishes.

Out of curiosity, you can't help to think that Adam's eyes have wander elsewhere other than his meal. You immediately wonder if he watched you put your hair into a ponytail and continue your chores in a graceful manner. You can't even help to think that he is watching you and observing your every move. You can literally feel his eyes wander upon your body, head to toe.

To break your train of thought, you ask a simple question without facing Adam. You ask, "Remember last week when we were in the room for "training" and all you did was kiss me, why just a kiss?"
